The Vista Grande Community Church of Colorado Springs is a masterpiece of architectural lineage. Designed by Elizabeth Wright Ingraham, the granddaughter of legendary architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, this structure incorporates the architectural principles handed down by her famous grandfather – organic architecture, environmental orientation, and the concept of space.

The building is constructed primarily of THERMOMASS insulated architectural concrete. In fact, it was one of the first buildings in the country to use insulated reinforced poured-in-place concrete sandwich walls, creating a comfortable environment for worship that is highly energy efficient. The architectural concrete finish on both the interior and exterior walls, along with concrete columns and radiant heated floor slabs and steps makes Vista Grande economical to operate because of its low maintenance and energy needs.

Vista Grande includes a sanctuary, fellowship hall, and a spacious narthex with three distinct landings on a stairway designed to discourage haste and encourage a meditative attitude as one approaches the worship area. The building was laid out on an axis with Pike's Peak. Views from the sanctuary cover 180 degrees from the mountains to the southern plains.

Outside on the south and east exterior walls are twenty-three tile mosaics designed by Ken Williams, an artist in Pueblo, expressing "the ministries of the church." The beautiful inset tiles demonstrate the versatility of concrete construction.

Vista Grande Community Church was an AIA Colorado Design Award winning project.
